North teammate Drew Petrie was not spotted out on the track on Monday and was instead completing his work indoors.

But Larkins believes the knee injury he sustained against the Swans won’t hold him back.

“He landed very awkwardly and had an impaction injury, so there’s more of a bruising situation inside the knee,” Larkins said.

“I expect Drew to play but he wouldn’t want to have the same thing happen again.”

The Dockers are confident Nat Fyfe (lower leg stress reaction) will be right to go against the Hawks on Friday night.

However, veteran defender Luke McPharlin has been ruled out because of a niggling calf injury.

Fremantle has also floated the idea of bringing tagger Ryan Crowley back into the team, despite the fact he has hasn’t played at all this season due to a one-year ban for breaching the AFL’s anti-doping code.
